ND

abbreviationStandard termAviation

The navigation display is a digital screen showing an aircraft's route, weather, and traffic.

The Navigation Display (ND) is a primary component of a glass cockpit. It projects a map-like view of the flight plan, waypoints, nearby aircraft, and radar returns, giving the flight crew a comprehensive picture of their horizontal situation.

Heard on the job
